I am not very good informed on matter, but I have talked to a coworker of mine and he says that Kosova (as he puts it) is a port of Albania. So I am a bit confused on them issue, because he said Kosova has always been a part of Albania, and it will always be, he also showed me an old map from about 150 years ago. The map showed an interesting view, so I'm a bit confused now because the borders aren't the same as now. And he also said that's why Kosova's population were 90% albanian. I have also done some reading and although facts seem to match, what I have heard from him. So I don't know!!!
I'm a bit confused! To who does Kosova belong to????

P.S Here is the address that he gave me:


Is anyone could give me an answer it would-be most appreciated!!!

Thanks from Tony

Under the photograph of Jasna Tasic, laying dead on the floor, you can read the historical background of Kosovo. On this site, there also is a more detailed History of Kosovo. The Serbs have a claim to Kosovo that goes back more that 1300 years. The first records of Albanian presence came much later. The names of towns and mountains are Slav, they have meaning in Serbian. The Albanian versions, starting with Kosova, are transliterations, not original names.

Populations change through genocide, forced conversion, and forced emigration, now called ethnic cleansing. Every nation has been guilty of it. We cannot blame the current occupiers of Istria, Sudetenland, Prussia, or Kosovo. However, we can demand that the moral and humanitarian leaders of the West do not start wars and ethnic cleansing, basing themselves on fake incidents and on fake statistics, such as the 90% Albanian claim. We can demand that they do not finance terrorism. We can demand that they do not block Land for Peace partition agreements, as they have done in Kosovo, Nigeria, Sudan, and Palestine.

The people of Kosovo, be they Albanian or Serb, Roma or Gorani, Turks ot Circassians, Ashkaelia or Croats, have been victimized by Western leaders, whose personal wealth and power increases with every new war they start, as they have done every year in the past fifty years.

KOSOVA AND ALBANIA SERBIA SUX ASS

In the time of Romanian empire in balkans lived a people that called themselves Illyrians, in the 7 th century came some slavic tribes from karpats (russia) and settled in some regions. Albanians are the direct descedants of illyrians which have confirmed also a huge number of archeologists. kosova was and will be albanian and about those names of kosova, every place has their albanian name.
For more info check : www.albanian.com

For the question asked:
As it was written in the map title, this is a map from the Otoman Empire period. History is written by the conquerors. Unfortenatelly..

For Kosova:
Are You really willing to go into discussion about historical background of Kosovo and Serbia?
I am just asking. If you want it You'll get it, no questions about it!

They will loose in any discussion, and if I as an American can say that- imagine what facts Serbs can present.

People grow up! Read the following whereas is stated that you have nothing to do with Illyrians.
Stated by an Albanian Academic.

Great article. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for introducing us to Resuli-Burovic. Still, unless you can give evidence that the Illyrians were exterminated by the Slavs, you cannot deny that Albanians, Serbs, Montenegrins, Croats, and Italians now inhabiting the former Illyria, are most probably direct descendants of the Illyrians.

Sorry Matt,
I believe I got nothing to prove here. An Albanian Academic said it all. I just posted it.

My point is that Resuli-Burovic article does not deny Illyrian parentage to any present day residents of the Adriatic coast, including Albanians.

On the other hand, Albanians cannot claim exclusive lineage.

nikoga ne uvredis stime, hvala da upotrebljas rec shiptar u nas jezik, mi kazemo SHKA a ne srb, rec shka znaci izbeglica, joj nemogu se setiti odakle je vase mesto precizno ali nacicu u internet, oglavno je negde u polsku.

Shiptarka,

READ U SON OF A BITCH, READ BEFORE YOU WRITE!!! i hate fools like you, who say "bullshit" to things they dont know anything about!

What, why am i not surprised. I dont belive anything he wrote.. sorry.. and by the way, Alexander the Great is albanian too. His mother was illyrian.. and read some more before you write nonsense.. cuz if you on the internett or in hisory books, you will see that Albanians and greeks are the oldest inhabitons in the balkan region, no serbs no bulgarians just us Albanians.. making it very logicial that we are the illyrian.

It is true that the names of the Mountains in Kosovo as you say have a certain meaning in the serb langage. But ,let me tell you something. When the Sumerian first came to our planet , they had they'r own names for today's Iraq's cities . But that doesent mean that those names are the names we use today . It is pointless for me to argue with your rather ignorant aproach to this issue. Nevertheless the recent events made it clear that there is no escape from the GOD's power . It may come as unexplainabe to you how NATO cripled the satanic Serbia , which has it's feet in the blood of the inoccent children killed during the Yugosllavian wars. And remember every pain that the serbs caused to other people will be payed back . Always Remember , what comes around goes around

nice wrote.. SEE MATT?! thats how u gotta write
